Humpty Dumpty smiled slightly and said, "This is where Old Lady Nie is powerful." If my guess is correct, when Ji Dingzhong made a plan to collude with the Japanese to eliminate the Xu family in Haizhou, Old Lady Nie had other plans. He knew that the five families of Fengmen Village had been entangled with the Xu family for hundreds of years, and it was almost impossible to complete the battle in one battle. If you want future generations to get rid of vendetta and live in peace from now on, you have to make a break with the Xu family. After the Battle of Haizhou, he thought about how to end the matter completely. At that time, he may not have known that the Xu family had slipped through the net, but he was just thinking about how the Nie family could change its face and no longer carry the big burden of Fengmen Village, so that future generations could live in the world with dignity. It was he who came up with the idea of using the power of the Japanese to realize his intentions.

"The City God Temple was originally built by the ancestors of Nie, Lu, Zhao, Du and Hua, and the main hall is the center of the City God Temple, and it is also the gathering place of the five heads of Fengmen Village. At the time of construction, it was definitely not uncommon to leave a secret passage in the temple. How shrewd was Old Lady Nie, how could she not know about the plans of the Japanese Invaders? He knew that the Japanese would definitely besiege the City God Temple on a large scale, kill the heads of the five families, and seize Fengmen Village. is to pretend not to know, but still take the opportunity of the meeting of the five heads of the Lantern Festival to place these important figures in the City God Temple. With this move, he intended to let the Japanese invaders kill the Lu, Zhao, and Du families, but he and the head of the Nie family could escape through the secret passage. And when he escapes, nine times out of ten, he will set a fire and burn the hall to the ground. In this way, even if the secret of Fengmen Village is known to the world, the world knows that the Nie family has also been buried in the fire. From then on, the children of the Nie family can change their faces, become officials who are officials, and make fortunes when they get rich, and they no longer have to worry about it every day and hide their names incognito.

"When Old Lady Nie's plan was launched, there were many accidents. First, he didn't expect that the Xu family's fish that slipped through the net would pretend to be the county Cheng Yufan and blend into the county seat of Xiuwu. The second is that Jinyiwei appeared in Xiuwu County, but it was also unexpected. It's just that these two things are not bad things for Old Lady Nie. Because since the Xu family has arrived, and the Nie family will die in the City God Temple along with the Lu, Zhao, and Du families, the Xu family will not suspect that there is fraud when they see this situation with their own eyes. And Jin Yiwei watched from the wall and saw that Old Lady Nie and others were buried in the fire, which was the best witness. In the end, the old lady Nie promised Yang Zhenzhong that he would set himself on fire in the main hall, making it clear that he wanted Yang Zhenzhong to see him die in the fire with his own eyes. Since then, Old Lady Nie has been 'dead', and we don't know what face he will come back to life.

"It's just that although Old Lady Nie is smart, Xu Chengzong is not stupid. Although the Battle of Haizhou did not completely destroy the Xu family, it also dealt a heavy blow to the Xu family. Xu Chengzong is also an extremely remarkable figure, seeing such a tragic situation, he knows that if he continues to fight, he can only lose both. When the Japanese invaders fled and Jinyiwei took control of the overall situation, Xu Chengzong saw that the Lu, Zhao, and Du families were finished, and the Nie family also suffered heavy casualties, and the heart of revenge had faded. In front of Yang Zhenzhong and Xu Yingyang, the old lady Nie claimed that she wanted to burn herself to death to atone for the sins of the Nie family. Xu Cheng guessed Old Lady Nie's intentions when he was neutral. He took the opportunity to say to the epicenter of the sun that he was also going to self-immolate, that is, he made up his mind, and he also wanted to get out of his shell like the golden cicada like Old Lady Nie, and be free from the hatred and torture of that lifetime. ”

Humpty Dumpty said this, sighed, and said to Li Qiufeng: "According to what you said, Old Lady Nie doesn't know martial arts, and Xu Chengzong's martial arts are not remarkable. It's just that the two of them are scheming, but they are far above ordinary martial arts masters. Hehe, I think after the door of the main hall was closed, the two of them must have made a deal in the main hall. From now on, the Nie and Xu families will no longer have entanglements, and the children and grandchildren of the two can be at ease and no longer have to live in fear. After the fire broke out in the main hall, Old Lady Nie and Xu Chengzong could naturally get out of the secret passage. Xu Chengzong was originally a man in the officialdom, so he naturally went to be his official. The old lady Nie can hide behind Ji Dingzhong to give advice and help the children of the Nie family become officials. He himself can be a carefree rich man. As for Fengmen Village, it was originally a place to cause trouble. It happened to be handed over to the government, and the Nie family completely got rid of it. This clever plan to count birds with one stone, if it weren't for Old Lady Nie, others really wouldn't have been able to think of it. ”

Li Qiufeng was dumbfounded when he heard it, and he didn't know what to say for a while. The old man nodded again and again on the side, and said: "These families have been fighting for hundreds of years, and they have all become fine. It's just that if you think about it carefully, what good is it to fight back and forth and hurt people's lives in vain? Like Ji Dingzhong, Zhang Baixing, and others, all of them are characters who are full of wealth, and if they are officials, they are already big officials who live in eight seats and open a government office, so why should they just be a little master, worry about it every day, and be careful in calculations? And Xu Chengzong is calm and wise, and he will definitely not be willing to be submerged among the small officials. Brother Liu's speculation is naturally very reasonable. ”

Li Qiufeng carefully recalled the situation at that time, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and finally said in a trembling voice: "Master, you said that Yang Zhenzhong and Xu Yingyang have seen that Old Lady Nie and Xu Chengzong have other plans, but why didn't they expose Old Lady Nie's conspiracy?"

Humpty Dumpty said: "The Nie and Xu families are no longer in dispute, there are only benefits and no harm to Jinyiwei, why does Yang Zhenzhong need to expose Old Lady Nie's schemes? Feng'er, you might as well think about it, the widows of Liusheng Zongyan and Jinshan Island have collapsed, and the old lady Nie hinted that the Nie family will no longer fight with the Xu family, which is beneficial and harmless to Yang Zhenzhong, how can he not send a favor?"

Humpty Dumpty said this, and the old man said, "Letting the old lady Nie go in the middle of the earthquake may have another benefit." ”

When he said this, he deliberately kept his mouth shut, looked at Li Qiufeng and said, "Feng'er, you might as well guess, what other plans are there in the epicenter of Yang?"

Li Qiufeng raised his eyebrows and said, "Could it be that Yang Zhenzhong wants to get the **** written by Old Lady Nie in order to coerce the officials for his own use?"

The old man clapped his hands and laughed, and said, "Feng'er, you finally know that people's hearts are in danger, right?"

Humpty Dumpty also smiled slightly, and said: "Yang Zhenzhong wants to get the ****, but he doesn't necessarily want to use it to blackmail hundreds of officials." He is the confidant of the current Jiajing Emperor, and his power is so great that few people can match him. However, with the insight of the epicenter, he naturally knows the truth that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger. Over the years, although Yang Zhenzhong's reputation is very great, he has never heard of this person taking advantage of the power of Jinyi Wei to harm the minister and control the government. He wants to get ****, and nine times out of ten he wants to use this book to find out if there are officials who want to be unfavorable to Emperor Jiajing. This person is very shrewd, when your uncle met me, he once said that the city government is very deep, even if there are a few scholars in the cabinet, they are not the opponents of this person. ”

When the three of them talked about it, more than three hours had passed unconsciously. The old man said, "I only cared about talking, and I even forgot lunch." You master and apprentice sit down for a while, and I will prepare food for you. ”

Humpty Dumpty smiled: "Then there is Mr. Lao Huang." In the past few days, sitting on the boat, the boatman is not allowed to make a fire, but can only gnaw some dry and hard steamed buns, and the birds have already faded out of their mouths. ”

The old man laughed, arched his hand towards Humpty Dumpty, and turned and walked out of the wing. It's just that he just walked into the yard and couldn't help but exclaim: "What a lot of snow!"

Humpty Dumpty and Li Qiufeng heard the old man say this, and hurriedly walked to the door. But I saw that there was a white expanse between heaven and earth. Heavy snow fell from the sky, covering the ancestral hall, the offering hall, the wall, and the surrounding houses on stilts.

Humpty Dumpty sighed: "It's really strange that there is such a heavy snow in Chongqing Mansion. ”

The old man squinted his eyes and watched the snow fluttering and falling in the air, and said to Humpty Dumpty: "Our Chongqing Governor's Mansion has offended the officials of the capital, and as a result, he was dismissed from his post and driven back to his hometown. However, the person who harmed him was angry, colluded with Dongchang, and sent a lot of people to us to collect the charges of Zhu Governor's crime, and wanted to put Zhu Governor to death. The people of Chongqing are indignant, and this heavy snow may be the resentment of the people, and they want to avenge their grievances. ”
